8.3.6 Conclusion: the Date Encoded in the<br />
Color Zodiac was September 5–8, 1182<br />
AD<br />
In this way we are in the position to make a claim that the<br />
“ancient” Egyptians encoded on the Color Thebes zodiac the<br />
date: September 5–8, 1182 A.D. Notice that this date falls<br />
into the same epoch as the dates shown on the Denderah<br />
<strong>zodiacs</strong>. In fact, this date is right in-between the dates <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Long and the Round Denderah <strong>zodiacs</strong>.<br />
The following question arises: what important occurences<br />
<strong>of</strong> the 12th century are reflected in these remains <strong>of</strong> the Egyptian<br />
tradition. Possibly, at that time some significant events<br />
took place. Since they were commemorated on the ceilings<br />
<strong>of</strong> large Egyptian temples, these events could be <strong>of</strong> religious<br />
nature. Still, the dates, which were decoded from the <strong>zodiacs</strong>,<br />
could be much older than the actual <strong>zodiacs</strong>. Consequently,<br />
the “ancient” authors <strong>of</strong> these zodiac could made their creations<br />
not earlier than at the end <strong>of</strong> the 12th century, but the<br />
most probably, even much later.<br />
By the way, our solution for the Thebes zodiac coincides<br />
with one important Christian holiday — Nativity <strong>of</strong> the Virgin<br />
Mary. This festival is celebrated by the Orthodox Church<br />
on September 8 according to Julian calendar. It is possible<br />
that it is just a coincidence, but in this royal tomb, which<br />
was located in the Valley <strong>of</strong> the Kings, could be commemorated<br />
a Christian festival. After seeing so many revelations<br />
about the “ancient” Egypt, this could be not so strange.<br />
8.4 Two Zodiacs from the Petosiris<br />
Tomb<br />
In this section we will analyze for the purpose <strong>of</strong> the astronomical<br />
dating the two “ancient” Egyptian burial <strong>zodiacs</strong><br />
found in the Petosiris tomb. The photographs <strong>of</strong> these <strong>zodiacs</strong><br />
were published in [5]. They were painted on the ceilings <strong>of</strong> the<br />
inner and the outer chambers inside the tomb. Let us recall<br />
(see section 2.5) that we denote by (P1) the zodiac from the<br />
outer room and by (P2) the zodiac from the inner room. Since<br />
these two <strong>zodiacs</strong> were well preserved, there is a good chance<br />
to discover the exact age <strong>of</strong> the Petosiris tomb. Of course, this<br />
date could be another important milestone in establishing the<br />
most probable chronology for history <strong>of</strong> Ancient Egypt.<br />
We will explain later in this section how it was possible<br />
to compute the dates encoded in the Petosiris <strong>zodiacs</strong>. Right<br />
now, let us present the final results <strong>of</strong> our computations. It<br />
turned out, that because <strong>of</strong> the absence <strong>of</strong> the additional astronomical<br />
information (eg. partial horoscopes or supplementary<br />
scenes), it was impossible to obtain unique solutions for<br />
these two <strong>zodiacs</strong>. Nevertheless, there were only three admissible<br />
pairs <strong>of</strong> solutions found: two medieval pairs and the one<br />
that seemed to us the most probable, in the 17th and 18th<br />
centuries. These exact dates are as follows:<br />
8.4 Two Zodiacs from the Petosiris Tomb 239<br />
First Variant: August 5, 1227 AD, for the outer room zodiac<br />
(P1), and March 24–25, 1240 AD, for the inner room<br />
zodiac (P2). We can not exclude the possibility that the<br />
Petosiris tomb was built in the 13th century. However, in<br />
this case, the buried in the tomb person was only 13 years<br />
old (1227 − 1240 = 13), but we do not find on the walls <strong>of</strong> the<br />
tomb any picture showing a young teenager, circumstances <strong>of</strong><br />
his death, or anything related to his burial (see [5]). On the<br />
other hand there is a scene showing the killing <strong>of</strong> an adult<br />
man with a beard. His body is pierced with arrows, while he<br />
is kneeing with one hand raised up. Right above this scene<br />
there is a painting <strong>of</strong> a mummified body (see Figures 8.14 and<br />
8.18). Therefore, it seems that the man buried in the Petosiris<br />
tomb was a warrior killed in a battle and he was definitely<br />
older than 13. Nevertheless, we will consider this solutions as<br />
possible even if it is very improbable.<br />
Second Variant: August 10, 1430 A.D. for the outer room<br />
zodiac (P1), and April 17, 1477 A.D. for the inner room zodiac.<br />
Let us point out that this solution does not completely<br />
agree with the inner room zodiac (P2). However its flaws are<br />
rather minimal, so this pair <strong>of</strong> solutions should also be taken<br />
into account. Notice that according to the obtained dates, the<br />
age <strong>of</strong> the buried man was 47 years. From this point <strong>of</strong> view,<br />
the obtained solutions correspond well to the scenes painted<br />
on the tombs walls (see Figures 8.14 and 8.18).<br />
Third Variant: August 2, 1667 AD for the outer room zodiac<br />
(P1), and April 2, 1714 A.D. for the inner room zodiac. The<br />
age <strong>of</strong> the man buried in the tomb would be 47 years in this<br />
case. Notice that these dates are rather late. It is already the<br />
18th century! Nevertheless, these two dates are the most probable<br />
solutions for the Petosiris zodiac. Indeed, in our opinion<br />
the design <strong>of</strong> the tomb looks more like the 18th century style<br />
than the 13th century creation. Moreover, at that time in the<br />
18th century, Egypt was ruled again by Mameluks, who regain<br />
the control <strong>of</strong> Egypt from the Ottoman Empire (see [53], p.<br />
745). It is possible that the Petosiris tomb was a Mameluk<br />
burial place from this epoch. After the eradication <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Mameluks in the year 1811 (see [53], p. 745), as a form <strong>of</strong><br />
a deception, some <strong>of</strong> those tombs were possibly revealed as<br />
“very ancient” graves. Such falsification <strong>of</strong> the history are not<br />
unusual.<br />
In every case, all the possible variants for the dating <strong>of</strong><br />
the Petosiris <strong>zodiacs</strong>, perfectly agree with the dates obtained<br />
for the other Egyptian <strong>zodiacs</strong>. All these dates belong to the<br />
epoch from the 12th to 19th centuries, during which the real<br />
history <strong>of</strong> ancient Egypt was taking place. For the record, all<br />
these results constitute one more independent confirmation<br />
<strong>of</strong> the new mathematical chronology <strong>of</strong> the ancient world (see<br />
[105]).<br />
We were very fortunate to have two <strong>zodiacs</strong> located in the<br />
same tomb. From the astronomical dating viewpoint this is<br />
an important factor. We expect that the dates shown on the<br />
both <strong>zodiacs</strong> should be close one to another. It is rather obvious<br />
that they are related to the buried in the tomb person.
